Xiao Zheng walked out of the harem quickly and walked towards the imperial study. It was the first time he had met with ministers, and it was when everyone was watching him, and he didn't want to make mistakes, and he couldn't make mistakes. Even if he can't change the reality that he is the crown prince, he still wants to be recognized by others, especially these are the pillars of the imperial court.

Looking at the plaque in the imperial study, Xiao Zheng took a deep breath and continued to walk towards the imperial study.

Father-in-law Fu also saw Xiao Zheng's nervousness, slowly paced in front of Xiao Zheng, bowed down and whispered to remind him, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to worry, although these ministers are all old oilers, but they all want to behave in front of His Highness, they should be nervous" and then gave Xiao Zheng a reassuring look, "Especially those who are still thinking about progress, hehe~"

Xiao Zheng, who said this, lost the nervousness just now, nodded to Gonggong Fu and thanked him, "Thank you Gonggong Fu, please report it." ”

"There is no need to report, the emperor has an order, and the prince can just go in when he comes." Then shouted loudly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived~"

A penetrating passage made the imperial study, which had been chatting quite lively, suddenly freeze.

Xiao Zheng walked into the imperial study, and everyone's eyes were already looking at him. The ministers, who were originally sitting, also stood up, and bowed to Xiao Zheng in unison, "The ministers and others knock to see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose..."

The two old men at the front were dressed in prime minister's costumes, smiling, and the other was wearing Guogong costumes with serious expressions, as if they were still looking at Xiao Zheng, but they still looked very satisfied.

Xiao Zheng walked towards them quickly, holding the two old men in front of him with both hands, "All the ministers are exempt, you have been waiting for a long time." ”

Emperor Ren also smiled and waved his hand, "All Aiqing are exempt from courtesy, let Zheng'er meet with you, first, you haven't officially met, you have to get to know each other; The second is that Zheng'er has just returned, and it will inevitably trouble you to teach him more in the future. ”

Prime Minister Lin Cheng smiled and took Emperor Ren's words, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a dragon and phoenix among people, and he is naturally gifted, and we old people really can't come up with anything to teach His Highness." ”

"Yes, yes~" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Haha, Lin Xiang is too modest, others dare not say that this Manchu Dynasty civil and military is human, you Lin Xiang must have something to teach, haha~" Xiao Zhenggang wanted to be modest, but Qingguo Gong had already laughed and said to Lin Xiang.

"What Qingguo Gong said is that Lin Aiqing is full of wealth and is the crown of Kyushu, so you don't have to be modest." Emperor Ren said as he asked everyone to sit down again.

The imperial study is not too small, and there are really not so neat the chief officials of the six departments, plus Lin Xiangguo and Qingguo are fair to twenty people, plus the stool sitting is also a little crowded.

At this time, Father-in-law Fu also moved the bench for Xiao Zheng and sat in front.

Seeing everyone seated, Emperor Ren looked at Lin Xiangguo with a smile, "Lin Aiqing, I remember that last year, many Aiqing asked the prince to come back quickly to share the government affairs, and now that the prince is back, do you think the prince is familiar with the government first?" ”

Lin Xiangguo turned his head to look at Xiao Zheng, "It is only a matter of time before His Royal Highness the Crown Prince comes into contact with the government, and now that the prince has just returned, the journey is tiring, do you need to take a break?" ”

Xiao Zheng looked at Lin Xiangguo, "It's not the sixth ministry in charge, my father just let this king familiarize himself with the next government, not to mention the hard work, not to mention that he has been idle for many years, and he doesn't dare to rest anymore." ”

"Well, His Royal Highness's concern for his father is commendable, I wonder which political affairs His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to be familiar with first?" Lin Xiangguo nodded in praise.

"It's all the same for this king, and this king obeys his father's arrangement."

Lin Xiangguo looked at Emperor Ren, Emperor Ren nodded, and looked at the ministers present, "If you have any suggestions, you can also say it and listen to it." ”

Hearing Emperor Ren's words, the officials of the six ministries looked at the prime minister and said in unison, "But according to Your Majesty's orders"

Seeing this scene, Emperor Ren seemed to be expecting, "Okay, then let's briefly talk about what the ministries are doing recently, and I will see how to arrange it better, so let's start with the ministry." ”

Hearing Emperor Ren call the ministry, the official sitting in front of him immediately got up, bowed down and replied, "Returning to Your Majesty..."

"Hey~ Today is not an official court meeting, Li Aiqing doesn't have to be formal, sit down and say" Emperor Ren waved his hand to let him sit down.

"Your Majesty," Li Shangshu bowed and sat down. "The officials are relatively idle now, and the officials who inspect the officials have already gone to the local unannounced visit, and the current one is more anxious for this autumn's big exam, and Weichen is also discussing related matters with Fang Shangshu."

Emperor Ren nodded, "Well, what about Tobe?" ~”

Zhou Shen, the secretary of the household department, bowed and saluted, "Returning to Your Majesty, the household department is sorting out the merchant taxes in the first half of the state and the post-disaster tax exemption and grain restoration in Liangzhou. ”

Seeing Emperor Ren nodding, Fang Zhongqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saluted and said, "Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has been arranging scientific expeditions recently, and many students from all over the country have entered Beijing one after another. ”

Then Liu Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the Ministry of War is communicating about the change of defense between the frontier and the southern states. ”

Guan Shirong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, replied, "Back to Your Majesty, the Criminal Department has been arresting criminals in an orderly manner. Recently, there have been more scholars from all over the country entering Beijing, in order to prevent people from taking the opportunity to make trouble on the way, Weichen is arranging security in various places, and notifying the martial arts sects in various places to assist. ”

Fan Bingkun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, replied: "The Ministry of Industry is developing new farming tools, as well as preparing and supplementing weapons and equipment for troops stationed in various places. ”

"Well, the work of all the ministries is going on in an orderly manner, and everyone Aiqing has worked hard," Emperor Ren gestured to them.

"The ministers don't dare, thank Your Majesty for your compassion." The ministers stood up and saluted.

"Everyone, sit down," Emperor Ren waved for them to sit down.

"Prince, the various ministries have been introduced, which one do you tend to know more about?" Emperor Ren looked at Xiao Zheng and asked what he thought.

Xiao Zheng got up and saluted, "Back to my father, in addition to having a little understanding of martial arts affairs, all ministries need to be familiar with political affairs." ”

"Hmm" Emperor Ren nodded and asked Xiao Zheng to sit down, thinking about which one would be safer for him to touch first.

"Hehehe~ Since you are familiar with martial arts matters, let's start with the Criminal Department, the things of each department are similar, all of them are clear, and the rest is easy to understand" Qingguo Gong broke Emperor Ren's thinking.

Emperor Ren looked at Qingguo Gong thoughtfully, as if he felt that what he said was very reasonable.

Next to him, Lin Xiangguo also looked at Qingguo Gong, "What Qing Guogong said is not unreasonable. ”

"Okay, then the prince will ask Aiqing for advice first" Emperor Ren nodded and agreed to Qingguogong's suggestion.

Guan Shirong stood up and saluted, "Weichen doesn't dare, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can find Weichen at any time if he has any questions, and Weichen knows everything." ”

"Okay, then Wang Ben will go to the Criminal Department tomorrow to ask Master Guan for advice" Xiao Zheng raised his hand to signal.

"Don't dare, Weichen is waiting for His Highness."

The business has been discussed, and then Emperor Ren and the ministers chatted with each other for a while, seeing that it was close to noon, Xiangguo Lin Qian got up and saluted, "Your Majesty, today is not a court meeting, the ministers really shouldn't come to disturb Your Majesty, and the ministries also have a lot of things to deal with, so the ministers will retire first." ”

The other ministers also bowed and bowed and took their leave.

"Okay, let's go back and rest first" Emperor Ren motioned to them, and then looked at Qingguo Gong, "Cui Aiqing, you wait a moment." ”

Qingguo Gong had already stood up and was about to say goodbye, but when he heard Emperor Ren's words, he nodded and sat down again, "Okay." ”

Watching the ministers leave the imperial study, they are now sitting opposite Qingguo Gong, and Fu Gonggong led people to withdraw the remaining benches.

"Okay, the ministers are gone, there is no state affairs here, Fujiang, let's talk about family affairs~hehe~" Emperor Ren looked at Qingguo Gong happily, looking like he wanted to do homework.

"Hehehe~ Now that the prince has returned, everything else is a trivial matter~"

"Marriage is not a trivial matter, Yu Guo is the prince's wedding, and the Yu family is tying the knot, all of them are big joys, hehe~" It can be seen that Emperor Ren is really happy, and turned his head to ask Xiao Zheng, "Zheng'er, your mother has told you everything, right?" ”

"Yes, father, just now the mother concubine told her son that she plans to hold a wedding at the end of the year." Saying that, Xiao Zheng turned to look at Qingguo Gong again, "I don't know what Qingguo Gong wants?" ”

"I don't have any opinions, it's up to Your Majesty and Niangniang to decide, hehehe~" Qingguo Gong said with a smile.

"Okay, Xiao Fu, let Qin Tianjian choose a good day, and then tell the world the news of the prince's wedding" Emperor Ren immediately made a will.

"Hey, the old slave will go to Qintianjian to pass the decree" After speaking, he actually went to Qintianjian to pass the decree himself.

Looking at Xiao Fu's distant back, Qingguo Gong's eyes were respectful, "Look at the pace of Father-in-law Fu, it is getting more and more unfathomable~"

Xiao Zheng turned his head to look at Xiao Fu, and nodded with a light smile. Emperor Ren didn't care, "Xiao Fu should have enjoyed martial arts in this life, but unfortunately he was bolted to this palace gate" The tone was also full of regret.

"Speaking of martial arts, Fujiang's suggestion just now is good, Zheng'er, you are still satisfied with going to the Criminal Department." Emperor Ren remembered Qingguogong's proposal just now, and felt that he was a good move, and wanted to ask Xiao Zheng what he really thought.

"Erchen also thinks it is just what he wants, and he wants to thank Qingguo Gong for his proposal," he said, raising his hand to Qing Guogong and saluting.

"I just mentioned it casually, hey, hey~" Qingguogong didn't take credit at all, as if he had nothing to do with him.

"Hehehe~ Fujiang, since the state and family affairs are all over, I won't keep you, go back and discuss it with your wife to see if there are any other matters to prepare, and then tell Zheng'er, so as not to miss anything."

"What's missing from that? Weichen can call the shots, everything is in accordance with the etiquette of the Ministry of Etiquette, hey, hey~ The minister will retire" said and walked out of the imperial study.

"You father-in-law" Emperor Ren pointed at the back of Qingguo Gong, "It's okay, it's just too big, hahaha~" said as if he remembered something happy, and slapped the table by himself.
